So today while out I bought myself a new knife as I've recently moved and only have one large chef's knife in my house. The problem however is I can't get it out of the package (photo's below). I'm worried that twisting the plastic case too much will cause it to shatter and the knife to fly out and kill/maim me.

The case is made of a hard clear plastic which won't bend, it appears to be two parts, a bottom part fitted onto the top shell.

So I've come here. Can we together as a forum figure out a way to open this package?

Feel free to ask any other questions about the knife and I will do my best to answer them.

You're strawberry floated mate, a blend of Portugal and Germany makes a knife so powerful that it's gravitational field alone holds the plastic in place. Your only option is to find a more powerful gravitational force and that only exists at the centre of the galaxy.
